The board, the feed and the awards

In stroke play, four-ball stroke play, best balls of four and shamble, the board shows who is most likely to win.

• Before anyone scores, the chances come from the handicaps.
• Once scores are in, the app plays out the rest of the round 2,000 times from everyone's scoring so far and counts who wins.

Tap "All win chances" to see every side.

In the round, the host taps "More", then "Show on a TV", and types the code the TV shows at goodspeed.golf/tv.

• The screen cycles the field, each flight and the matches, with the latest moment along the bottom.
• A round of matches shows "Matches" in place of the field and flights.

Yes. The host taps "Share the live board" in the host tools and sends them the link.

• They see the leaderboard, with names and scores, within seconds of each score, with no sign-in.
• An outing's own page links to it as "Watch live" while the round is on.

• On Me, under "Golfer", tap "Achievements": every badge you have earned is there as a medallion, with the ones you're closest to earning.
• "Trophies", in the same group, opens your trophy case, and its "See all achievements" leads back to them all.
• When a round closes and you have earned a badge you did not have before, the first one appears as "New badge" on the end-of-round card that shows your XP, just before the last card of the awards. A round that was reopened and closed again shows no such card, but the badge still appears under "Achievements".

Badges are free.

The phone and the website celebrate a saved birdie, eagle, snowman or hot streak, and the winner when the round closes. The phone app also plays four short celebrations of its own:

• "Skin on hole 7" (or "3 skins on hole 7" when carried skins come with it) when a skin is won.
• "18 holes in" when your last hole is saved.
• "Course stamped" when a round closes and adds a new course to your passport.
• "3-week streak" when your weekly streak grows to two weeks or more.

The last two are for signed-in players. Those four play on the phone only, not on the website, and there is no switch to turn them off; "Sounds and haptics" in Settings, on Me, mutes their tones and taps, and when your phone asks for reduced motion they show without the moving particles.

They do not replay, so look for skins on the board and for your stamps and weekly streak in Stats, on Me.

Once you have earned a new palette, pick it in "Season rewards", on Me; it follows you to every phone and browser you sign in on. The win, a new crest and a course stamp keep their own.

If the host turned it on, each player predicts the winner, the low gross, the low net (when the main game is played net) and the most birdies before the first hole, then the winner and last place at the turn (the first hole after halfway).

• Each right answer is worth two points, and each question locks when its hole starts.
• The top three get their own card at the end of the awards.

How many weeks in a row you've kept going. It's free.

• A week counts with one round, practice session or quest in it. Weeks run Monday to Sunday.
• If nothing has counted yet this week, last week still counts, so the streak doesn't drop to zero on a Monday.
• One freeze a month can cover a missed week, and the streak pauses while your home course's season is closed.
• Stats, on Me, shows it as "N weeks in a row" with your longest. From two weeks, Today shows "N-week streak" beside "Play again".

Each course has a leaderboard of 18-hole rounds, with each player's best net round. To open one:

1. On Me, tap "Stats".
2. Tap a course's name under "Course leaderboards".

You can also open your trip in Competitions, tap the course's name, then tap "Leaderboard".

• "Today" shows rounds played there today. "This season" shows the calendar quarter (January to March, April to June, July to September, October to December).
• Only course rounds count: simulator, practice and imported rounds don't.
• Your own row always reads "You". Another player is named, by first name and last initial, only if they're 18 or older, have turned on "Show me on course leaderboards and standings" on Me, and haven't turned on "Hide me from recaps". Anyone else shows as "A player" and keeps their place.
• Turn the switch off to show as "A player" to everyone else.
